process()

xtd::diagnostics::process::process

(

)

Initializes a new instance of the xtd::diagnostics::process class.

Remarks

If you do not specify the machine_name property, the default is the local computer, (".").

You have two options for associating a new xtd::diagnostics::process component with a process on the computer. The first option is to use the constructor to create the xtd::diagnostics::process component, set the appropriate members of the xtd::diagnostics::process::start_info property and call xtd::diagnostics::process::start to associate the xtd::diagnostics::process with a new system process. The second option is to associate the xtd::diagnostics::process with a running system process by using xtd::diagnostics::process:get_process_by_id or one of the xtd::diagnostics::process::get_processes return values.

If you use a static overload of the xtd::diagnostics::process::start method to start a new system process, the method creates a new xtd::diagnostics::process component and associates it with the process.

When the xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::use_shell_execute property is set to its default value, true, you can start applications and documents in a way that is similar to using the Run dialog box of the Windows Start menu. When xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::use_shell_execute is false, you can start only executables.

Any executable file that you can call from the command line can be started in one of two ways: by setting the appropriate members of the xtd::diagnostics::process:start_info property and calling the xtd::diagnostics::process::start method with no parameters, or by passing the appropriate parameter to the static_start member.

You can create a xtd::diagnostics::processes component by using the constructor, one of the static xtd::diagnostics::process::start overloads, or any of the xtd::diagnostics::process::get_process_by_id, xtd::diagnostics::process::get_processes, or xtd::diagnostics::process::get_processes_by_name methods. After you have done so, you have a view into the associated process. This is not a dynamic view that updates itself automatically when the process properties have changed in memory. Instead, you must call xtd::diagnostics::process::refresh for the component to update the xtd::diagnostics::process property information in your application.
